The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

A fast-paced arcade shooter where you blast waves of aliens with a friend in chaotic, colorful combat.

What players say

Players are split on this twin-stick shooter: some enjoy it as a casual couch co-op time-waster, but many find it repetitive and criticize the constant enemy respawning, the need to destroy bullet-sponge barricades, and the fact that all upgrades are lost after each level. The price is widely considered too high for what feels like a shallow experience.
